The effects of smoking weed are less intense compare to drinking, i think it should be legalized, so the government can tax it, like booze.
Long-term effects of weed are depression, weak lungs, and being a lazy mother fucker!
Compare to the long term effects of drinking, which include alcoholism(no-duh), cardiovascular disease, malabsorption, chronic pancreatitis, alcoholic liver disease, and cancer(which all REALLY suck), not to mention how some drunks can be abusive.
So either they legalize weed and ban tobacco(to not screw with the taxes that effect the economy), or ban booze, weed and tobacco, because they all have negative effects!
